It's been a long sketching journey this past week, pushing through about 30 illustrations for a very special and upcoming children's book to be released this Autumn. I'm quite eager to share more details but alas, it's hush-hush for now. However, it will be worth the wait, let me tell you!
Along with this work, I've been developing a new character for another upcoming children's book about a special Hedgehog family. Above is what I've landed on for the dad. Isn't he the cutest? I'd love to hear what comes to mind when you picture a tiny hedgehog family in your mind. How fun would that be - helping muwah develop characters for one of her books?! So, let me hear your ideas! :)
Now, let me grab my hot cuppa and venture off into blogging-land to see what everyone else has been up to. Happy Sunday Sketches!
